Lifelong fan Bennett invested in the club and was first appointed to the Ibrox board in 2015 – he was then made deputy chairman in 2020 serving under Park – but it has been a rocky period for the club. Bennett promised Rangers fans in September 2022 that the club would strive to be the ‘best in class’ on and off the pitch under his stewardship but have struggled to meet those standards in recent months.

A summer overhaul of the first-team squad and a delay in construction work at Ibrox – followed by a move to Hampden Park – ramped up the pressure on the board. He was forced to apologise to supports for the move away from Govan in July while also admitting his disgust at the “unsustainable” transfer model at the club amid their search for a “mythical” player trading model.
